Question

The Himalayan mountains are divided into _____ main parallel ranges.
(Fill in the blank with appropriate words to complete the sentence.)

Answer 1

Hint: The Himalayas in Asia is a mountain range splitting the plains of the Tibetan Plateau from the Indian subcontinent. There are several of the highest peaks on Earth, including the highest peak, Mount Everest, on the borderline between Nepal and China.

Complete answer:
The Himalayas and some similar ranges would include the Greater Himalayas complex of mountains. The Hengduan Range, which encompasses three Parallel Rivers National Park in China, is at the eastern end of the Himalaya proper. To the west, the Himalayas link to the Pamir Knot, a broad area of high land, and several other ranges extend from the knot in multiple directions.
The Himalayan mountain range stretches west-northwest to east-southeast in an arc 2,400 km (1,500 mi) long, elevated by the subduction of the Indian tectonic plate underneath the Eurasian Plate. A lot of towns in the Himalayas could be accessed by road, others by plane or train, though trekking is involved in several of the very remote regions, and some trekking is quite challenging.
The 8,000 m (26,000 ft) tops of Dhaulagiri and Annapurna in Nepal, divided by the Kali Gandaki Gorge, stand in the middle of the great curve of the Himalayan mountains. Ecologically and orographically, the gorge separates the Himalayas into western and eastern sections, with the passage at the edge of Kali Gandaki the Kora La seems to be the lowest point on the plateau among Everest and K2

Note:
About fifty mountains exceeding 7,200 m (23,600 ft) in elevation comprise the Himalayas, including 10 of the fourteen 8,000-metre peaks. The highest point outside of Asia, by comparison, is 6,961 m (22,838 ft) tall.
